How do you teach kids to win well and lose well? How do you teach young athletes to excel and to be kind to those who don't excel? And how do you pack a postgame snack that's sure to please?

Help us tell those stories — with photos, with a quick anecdote or with a piece of advice — so we can share them with our readers. We will publish most submissions in the Missourian’s From Readers section, and some might end up in the print edition as well.

Questions? Ideas for who we should invite to contribute? Contact Joy Mayer, the Missourian's director of community outreach, at mayerj@missouri.edu or 882-8182. Thanks for considering the invitation, and we look forward to working with you.
